Gilly’s most favorite things are her best friend, her fish Finnegan and her own pair of flippers. They went swimming in Lighthouse Bay daily. One day, items started disappearing from the marketplace and Gilly went to see what was happening. The townspeople said there was a monster in the bay and it took one of Gilly’s flippers! The beach was closed for safety. Gilly convinced the townsfolk to catch the monster so they could figure out what it was and have their things back. What a surprise the monster turned out to be, thanks to Gilly.
Gilly’s Monster Trap is a cute picture book, illustrations are simple, colorful, and engaging. The main character is full of spunk and charms the reader. The text is simple to read, and the font is colorful and varies in size, amusing for any reader. Marko’s book is a great beginning read for early elementary students with an entertaining ending. Most characters are white, there are two characters of color.
